by

This Friday, of the Aguilar they turned the sports pavilion “Honda Center” of California into a Mexican town with its celebrations, musical numbers, circus spectacles, jaripeo of bulls, charrería and of course, nostalgia and glorification of the Mexican, and they did it with the beginning of his tour “Jaripeo Without Borders 2021”, With which they return to the stages with 18 dates for the United States.

Prior to the show, Pepe highlighted to the press the symbols that were included in the scenery, such as a huge 10-meter water lily located in the center of the sand and that received the guests. He also said that with this they break a long period of inactivity due to the pandemic, which, although it still prevails, already allows them to offer concerts of this type, return to the arena,

“I would love for them to pay special attention to the content of the show because the pandemic inspired us to feel more rooted in the land, to be proud of who we are and to enjoy it every second because we don’t know how long it lasts.” , he commented.

From six in the afternoon the attendees began to arrive wearing, many of them, boots and hat, but also mouth covers, and at eight he started the event with two riders who appeared in the sand surrounding the nopal , one with a Mexican flag and another with the American one. There were dancers with feathers and the screens were filled with feathered snakes. Suddenly, Pepe’s voice sounded in front of 10,000 spectators to say:

“It’s already three generations of commitment, dedication, pride and professionalism. I want to present with you the heir to the musical legacy, we will bring this stage to the third generation, receive with a loud applause Leonardo Aguilar” .

The young man appeared on the sand riding his horse Corporal and singing “El Toro Serrano”, and commented that he felt happy to do what he likes best: singing.


“If there’s one thing I learned during this pandemic it’s that nothing is guaranteed, and I feel fortunate and honored to be able to ride my corporal horse. A round of applause for my corporal please, and go out and do what I like best.” he likes in this life: to sing Mexican songs “.

He sang songs like “Sangoloteadito” and “Lamberto Quintero”, and before leaving the arena he stressed that his horse is not an accessory, but his co-worker and an animal he loves very much.

After Leonardo came the circus artist Tulga, who placed on his shoulders a huge and heavy wooden stick with flames at the ends, with which he made several impressive movements for the audience.

The next to appear was Antonio Aguilar son. “I was already walking around cooking beans to work,” he said. The artist remembered his father and mother, Antonio and Wild flower, Died on November 26 last year, and sang “La vida no val res”, by José Alfredo Jiménez, whom he considered one of the best Mexican composers. “Sad Memory” was also part of his repertoire.

After Antonio, appeared the artist Tomás Garcilazo, dedicated to charrería. After making complex maneuvers on his horse, his little son Lui Garcilazo appeared, bringing a loud applause. This number was followed by another jumping on horses with other artists who rode with their eyes covered and later appeared the young Ángela Aguilar, who is about to turn 18 years old.

Angela caused great euphoria by appearing mounted on her horse, and after walking around the place and saluting, she sang “La basurita”.

“A round of applause for my horse‘ The Hollywood ’please,” he said after singing that song, and then gave voice to one of his recent releases “Here Where They See Me”.

As he sang, the audience took photos and videos of him; the young woman explained that in a month she turns 18 – on October 18 – and that she was happy to be there. He sang the hit sung during the Grammy, “The Weeping Lady”, accompanied by a skull-faced rider surrounding him. He also sang “Actually”, another recent release and “Like the Flower” by Selena Quintanilla.


In saying goodbye to the stage he gave voice to the theme he plays alongside Christian Nodal: “Tell me how you want.”

When Ángela left the place, jaripeo happened, a moment of applause and emotion for those who grew up with these customs in which a rider appears mounted on a bull and the idea is to see how much he resists in his back before this one knock it down and try to horn it, but while many enjoyed it, this show turned out to be quite tense for those who don’t quite agree with this kind of spectacle in which humans and animals could get hurt.

“It’s a friendly challenge between a four-legged animal with a Christian,” said the narrator of the event, but he did not miss the ox that, angry at the situation, managed to touch with his horn a horse that, from the fright – and probably from the pain – the rider overthrew his rider (in charge of removing the oxen from the sand). After the scare, the show continued and Pepe Aguilar appeared.

The artist, father of Ángela and Leonardo, provoked shouts and drove the audience crazy when, dressed in a charro and mounted on horseback, he entered, elegantly, in the sand singing “El corregut dels Pérez”.

“Damn, what a pleasure to be here with you after a year eight months of not walking in what is our life, which is walking from city to city bringing our music and our folklore, I feel very lucky that life , destiny, universal energy, God, as they want to say to him, have allowed us to return. I really thought I was going to spend more time and I thank God for accompanying us here, “he told the people, who, wearing mouthpieces, sang and at times, took it out to consume their food. There were also a few who did not wear the mouthpiece during the concert.

Choirs and cameras accompanied the artist on songs such as “Direct to Heart (For a few coins)” and “Sorry”. Then he paused a moment between song and song to talk about the Mexicans.

“I’m not talking about revenge, I’m talking about realities, for now, inside Mexican music, we’re kicking ass (we’re kicking ass). It’s been like 15 years of urban music that’s great, but we were “We are moving forward and I think they are waves, all of a sudden they are waves, and right now there is a lot and a lot of good in Mexican music,” he said.

After several numbers in which he approached people walking or horseback riding and even tossed some from the beach, his daughter Angela appeared, with whom he sang “you promised.” Then scenes of Angela Aguilar when she was a baby appeared on the screens and sang a father and daughter song, “Your blood in my body.”

During the night there was also a moment of nostalgia to remember and pay tribute to Wild flower now Antonio Aguilar, parents of this family who today, three generations later, still keep music alive. In presenting “When Two Souls,” Pepe commented.

“This is a song that my parents always sang in their show, they sang it in duet, I remember from a very young age seeing them and I was very excited to hear them sing this song and now life is spinning and those who sing this song are my two children.As a very humble tribute to these two great Mexican artists, one Zacatecas and others from Guanajuato, who opened the doors of these stages for all of us who follow behind, because they they were the first Mexican artists to perform in the United States, and now I want my two children to pay tribute to their grandparents. “

After three hours of concert and partying, at eleven o’clock at night, Pepe said goodbye, but had to return when the audience asked for another song: “It’s two in the morning,” which triggered the cries of the north and the heart of the attendees from the front line “It’s two in the morning, and I’m at your door crying.”

Gradually, the place was emptied. Some went to buy official merchandise, others fell into the small street stalls.
